Similarly smart is the use of Scorponok as a suitably roving techno-pirate, roving from world to world, leeching from alien worlds to create hybrids based on Cybertronian science. It's maybe a bit arch that his current base is Nebulos and his current partner in crime is Nebulon businessman Zarak; the tone tells us that this isn't going to pan out as resulting the Headmaster process even with the reference to Cybertronian enhancements. But as clumsy bluffs go it's amiable and produces a couple of interesting moments.
Add in a decent cameo by Swindle in his classic Huggy Bear wheeler-dealer personality and it all adds up to a fun enough read.
